The text draws on a number of classical works, including the writings of Macrobius, Plutarch, and Pliny the Elder, and was extremely popular both in Mexía's lifetime and in the century following. First printed in 1540, it was reprinted more than a dozen times before 1600 and was translated into several other languages. It had largely fallen from favor by 1680, but not before influencing the writing of Miguel de Cervantes, Christopher Marlowe, and William Shakespeare, among others. 1382104. Special Collections.
